HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Combined revenue generated by casinos through slot machine and table games play during the 2018 calendar year was the highest annual total to date, according to figures released by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board today.

The total revenue of $3,248,681,377 in 2018 topped the previous year total of $3,226,910,816 attained last calendar year.

The record 2018 figure comes even with a slight 1.3% dip in tables games revenue over 2017 (see second chart). However, as previously reported by the Board, slot machine revenue fueled the overall growth by increasing by more than $32 million dollars this past year over 2017 revenue figures.

The Board also reported that tax revenue in 2018 from the combined play of slot machines and table games was $1,377,254,368*. 

The following chart tracks slot machine and table games gross revenue since the first slots-only casino opened in November 2006.  Table games were added to Pennsylvania casinos in July 2010.

About the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board:

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is tasked to oversee all aspects of the state's casino industry, along with oversight of new gaming initiatives created through amendments to the Race Horse Development and Gaming Act recently approved by the signing of Act 42 of 2017. To date, the PGCB regulates the play within the Commonwealth of Fantasy Sports Contests along with four casino operators offering Sports Wagering. Additional new gaming initiatives are expected to launch in the coming months.

The Commonwealth's casino industry currently consists of 10 stand-alone and racetrack casinos in operation, along with the two smaller resort casinos.  These facilities collectively employ 17,000 people and annually generate approximately $1.4 billion in tax revenue from slot machine and table games play. The largest portion of that money is used for property tax reduction to Pennsylvania homeowners.

Additional information about both the PGCB's gaming regulatory efforts and Pennsylvania's gaming industry can be found at gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov. You can also follow the agency on Twitter by choosing @PAGamingControl.
